Un-Go Episodes 1-6 Streaming
Plenty easy to enjoy—so long as you aren't in it for the sleuthing.

ICE DVD
This 2007 OVA series about a dystopian future where only women survive has a lot of cool ideas, but the series suffers greatly because its production staff doesn't seem to know how to execute those ideas or even tell a coherent story.

Kimi to Boku. Episodes 1-7 Streaming
Feel-good entertainment that you don't have to feel bad about.

Loups=Garous Blu-Ray
The titular werewolves are figurative rather than literal in this occasionally dark, often edgy movie about socially dysfunctional youths who must contend with a serial killer in a tightly-controlled futuristic society.

Grand Guignol Orchestra GN 3
Viz' favorite Mistress of Goth is in top form if you can look beyond the niggling details, and the “Tragedie Lyrique” and “Ma Cherie” arcs flow almost seamlessly together, giving this volume a readabilty that isn't always present in her works.

Saturn Apartments GN 4
Fans of the series' gentle artistry, slice-of-life storytelling, and its fanciful futuristic setting will be glad to know that Volume 4 continues in the same vein.

Pokémon: Black and White GNs 1 and 2
Do you have or know a young child whom you'd like to introduce to manga? Viz's VizKids line has a good series for you. While manga based on gaming franchises do not have an illustrious history, Hidenori Kusaka and Satoshi Yamamoto's kid-friendly romp makes for solid entertainment for the six-to-ten set that requires minimal beforehand knowledge of the Pokemon world.

Seiho Boys' High School! GN 8
Overall? This is the weakest volume in the series. If you've read the previous seven, it is worth finishing it out, but don't expect that fun and laughter that made the earlier books so enjoyable.

Higurashi: When They Cry GN 13
There is only one more volume in this answer arc, and the end of volume thirteen, or Eye Opening Arc 3, is promising. A major player in the series makes her move in a way that you may or may not have seen coming. Shion is certainly taken by surprise, and given that it is through her deranged eyes that we are seeing things, readers fully absorbed by the story will have a good shock as well.

Oresama Teacher GN 3
Oresama Teacher is neither the best nor the worst shoujo manga out there. It is fun in places, less so in others, and a bit uneven overall. If you've been reading it and liking it thus far, there's nothing here to stop you from enjoying this volume as well.

Super GALS DVD 1
Super Gals is one of the most unique shoujo series to come into existence. Filled to every crack with cultural insights and accompanying humor...
